GI Joe Must Go Free!

I don't know how this happened. If it was an attempt by the terrorists to make themselves look good, or a site-hacking job by the CIA to make them look stupid, but it is amazing, and funny as hell. Especially since it totally fooled the AP and other press knuckleheads.

Secret Pentagon sources tell me that, in another blow to Joe morale, the rescue mission has been assigned to M.A.S.K. No casualties are expected in the raid, although a contingent of Go-Bots are on QRF. Strangley, calls to the GI Joe commander, Duke, have been answered by a mysterious, never before seen character calling himself Flint...

Update: Dammit, it's not a doll, it's an ACTION FIGURE!!

Update 2: Earlier today, DailyKos was using this to argue for voting against Gonzales, saying this was the exact reason we had to take a stand against torture - how could we condemn the torture of one of our men when we were torturing detainees at Abu Graib, Guantanamo, etc. I guess if it wasn't for Gonzales and his legal opinion memos, Al Qaeda would treat prisoners according to the Geneva Convention. We really can't condemn beheadings when... we put women's underwear on people's heads. And stack them in naked twister pyramids. And give them lapdances. Oh, I forgot about making them stand for a while.
It's since been "tastefully edited:"

Great News! No Soldier Captured!by Armando Tue Feb 1st, 2005 at 10:18:21 PSTThis is great news. I've edited the entry to reflect it.

Update 3: This was hilarious (hat tip: Instapundit). ""Elmo is thinking about genocide!" he screamed, as he unleashed a hail of foam darts upon our adversaries. "Elmo is Death, destroyer of worlds!" War does awful things to toys.""

More thoughtful (well, there was a lot of thought put into that first one), but only if it's not a hacker-job.

And hey I got a Trackback! (And a Comment, all in one day!) Here's GOP in the City's site, which has yet more links and funny pictures. Thanks for visiting, folks.
